The Parent Trap: in awe of Lindsay, Nancy Meyers and Meredith Blake

Ending the season on a magical high chosen by the listeners. The more we get into this episode the more magic we realise The Parent Trap (1998) is. After we’ve addressed the ridiculous trauma of it all (erm…the terrible parenting decisions!), we get to the good stuff; the nostalgic joy of this film, its legacy and the fact it introduced to the world, Lindsay Lohan and director and co-writer Nancy Meyers. Wait until you hear about the other actors that were considered before Lindsay. We discuss the sheer brilliance of 11-year-old Lohan and the complicated layers of acting she pulled off during what must’ve been a long, taxing shoot. We look at how exactly they created the illusion of twins back in the 90s, both on set and in post-production. Oh, and we take a long hard look at ourselves after realising the character of Meredith Blake is only 26 years old. HOW? Tune in for some reminiscing, some making-of trivia and a gritty realistic 2024 Parent Trap remake that we cook up. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .
